METHODS AND DEVICES WHICH ENABLE CONSIDERING A NUMBER OF ACTIVE USER STATIONS LINKED VIA RELAYS WHEN ALLOCATING RADIO RESOURCES

摘要

In a radio communication system, a relay node (203) that relays data received from an anchor node (200) to user stations (204), determines (650) and transmits (652) information about a number of active user stations linked to the relay node, to the anchor node. The anchor node allocates (702) radio resources according to the received (700) information about the number of active user stations.
